Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Cleveland and Akron, OH
|
| |
Though a short distance from the urban environments of Cleveland and
Akron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park seems worlds away. The winding
Cuyahoga—the "crooked river" as named by American Indians—gives way to
deep forests, rolling hills, and open farmlands. The park is a refuge
for flora and fauna, gives a sense of times past, and provides
recreation and solitude for Ohio's residents and visitors.
